Quotes (from this video)
- The world is your oyster, right? The amount of variability can mean you basically have a lot a lot of fun with this and each game be kind of slightly different.
- it's Mario Kartesque, but with a board game twist and big laughs.
- The Turbo Box is the big box of all things Joyide. This brings together everything we just said with some extras and some excellent storage.
- storage is excellent. It makes set up and tear down really quick.
- Volcano Island introduces lava and some races will see the volcano erupt, spewing lava across the map.
- Nitro 2.0 acts like the original Nitro, but a bit more intense.
